Senior Applied AI Engineer - Prompting & Evaluation
KERRIDGE COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS CORP
Permanent Full Time Professional Bristol, Bristol, England, GB 4 days ago Requisition ID: 3284 At Klipboard we've introduced a flexible hybrid work policy, where employees spend three days in the office and two days working from home. This approach promotes a balanced work environment that combines office collaboration with the comfort and convenience of remote work. Klipboard provides specialist software, services and support to deliver fully integrated trading and business management solutions to companies in the distributive trade - wherever they are in the world. With a unique depth of knowledge and experience in ERP/SaaS solutions, Klipboard has a wide range of clients includes wholesalers, distributors, merchants and retailers from small traders to multinational enterprises. Klipboard has offices in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya and North America. Our mission is simple: to design and deliver high performance, integrated ERP solutions that enable our distributive trade customers to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and service competitively. Klipboard is a global, growing business that embraces AI and emerging technologies to enhance customer outcomes, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We're looking for people who are curious about or fluid with AI, open to change, and excited to learn how technology can improve the way we work and help our customers which is always supported by strong human insight and communication. This is a high-impact senior engineering role for someone who wants to shape how a large engineering organisation uses AI in real products and real development work. You will set patterns, create evaluation standards, coach engineers and help Klipboard turn AI from individual experimentation into repeatable, scalable engineering practice. The role is two jobs in one: the craft of getting reliable, measurable results from large language models through prompt engineering, context design and evaluation; and making everyone around you better at it. With hundreds of engineers across the UK and South Africa, the difference between an organisation where a few people prompt well and one where everyone does is enormous. Your success is measured less by what you personally produce and more by how quickly the engineers around you improve. Key Responsibilities Role Accountabilities Practise the craft at a high level - designing, building and refining prompts, context strategies and agentic workflows for AI features in our products. Grow the engineers around you - coaching, pairing, workshops and building shared assets that spread good practice across hundreds of engineers. Set standards and keep the organisation honest - defining what good looks like for prompting, evaluation and context engineering, and maintaining those standards as tools change. Key Activities and Contributions Design, build and refine prompts, context strategies and agentic workflows for AI features in Klipboard products, where a confidently wrong price, part match or stock answer is worse than no answer. Build evaluation into everything - test prompts against real business cases at scale, measure quality honestly, and treat "it looked fine when I tried it" as the start of the work, not the end. Work across models and providers, choosing pragmatically on quality, cost and latency rather than loyalty, and keeping up as models, tools and providers change quickly. Get deep into the domain detail with product teams and subject matter experts, because a prompt is only as good as the understanding of the business problem behind it. Coach engineers across teams to get dramatically more from AI coding tools and LLMs, through pairing, reviews, workshops and patient one-to-one help. Build and maintain shared prompt patterns, reusable templates, evaluation harnesses and internal guides, so good practice spreads as assets rather than folklore. Run an internal community of practice where engineers share what is working, what failed and why, and make it somewhere people actually want to show up. Help define what good looks like for prompting, context engineering and evaluation across R&D, and keep those standards current as tools and models change. Share measurable results with engineering leadership, including where AI tooling is genuinely paying off and where it is not. Systems, Tools and Technology Large language model APIs across multiple providers (GPT, Claude, Llama and equivalents) AI coding tools: GitHub Copilot, Cursor or equivalents Prompt engineering, context design and agentic workflow frameworks Evaluation harnesses, evaluation datasets and automated test suites for AI outputs Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, embeddings and retrieval pipelines (desirable) LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel or equivalents - desirable) Technical and Professional Expertise Strong software engineering background with several years building and shipping production software. Substantial hands-on experience with large language models: prompt design, context engineering and structured outputs, in real work rather than personal experiments alone. Experience building evaluations or test harnesses for LLM outputs, and using them to improve quality measurably. Clear evidence of growing other engineers - through mentoring, teaching, internal training, communities of practice or similar. Daily working fluency with AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor or equivalents, with a practical view of where they help and where they mislead. Core Responsibilities and Contributions Deliver AI features in Klipboard products with proper evaluation and measurable quality standards. Embed prompt engineering and evaluation best practice across the R&D organisation. Be the sceptical voice when something demos well but will not hold up in production; be the encouraging one when a genuinely good idea needs backing. Maintain high standards for safety, accuracy and data handling in everything that ships - customers run their businesses on the answers our software gives them. Build and sustain a living library of prompt patterns, templates and guides. Meet engineers where they are, including those working in long-established codebases, where getting real value from AI tools is some of the highest-leverage work in the company. Customer Experience Ensure AI features in Klipboard products give accurate, safe and trustworthy answers - customers run their businesses on our output. Work with product teams and subject matter experts to understand the business problem behind each feature properly before building. Prevent confidently wrong answers - incorrect prices, part matches or stock levels - from reaching customers. Key Outcomes and Activities Engineers across several teams can point to specific things they now do better because of coaching and knowledge-sharing. At least one AI feature or workflow shipped per quarter with proper evaluation behind it. A living, used library of prompt patterns, templates and guides in place and growing. Community of practice running, well attended, and producing outputs teams actually reuse. Engineering leadership has a clearer, evidence-based picture of where AI is paying off. Generous with knowledge and genuinely energised by other people getting better. If the instinct is to guard expertise rather than spread it, this is the wrong role. Rigorous and honest about results - measures, shows working, and says so when data disagrees with the enthusiasm. Patient with engineers at every level of AI maturity, from those who live in these tools to those who are quietly sceptical of the whole thing. Curious about the trades Klipboard customers work in, because the best prompts are full of domain understanding. Calm about the pace of change - treats model and tooling shifts as the interesting part of the job, not a threat. Works closely with engineering leadership, architecture, product and cross-site engineering teams across the UK and South Africa. Additional Responsibilities (as aligned to company job architecture) Some travel between Klipboard's UK and South Africa offices as part of the coaching and community-building remit. Keep standards current as models, tools and providers change rapidly. Represent Klipboard's engineering practice externally where appropriate - talks, writing or open-source contributions. Key Relationships (Internal and external) Internal Engineering leadership and architecture teams R&D engineering teams across Newcastle, Tankersley, Hungerford, Johannesburg and Cape Town / Stellenbosch Product managers and product owners Subject matter experts in Klipboard's product verticals (distributive trades, rental, automotive) External AI and LLM platform and tooling providers (as needed) Required Qualifications and Experience Strong software engineering background with several years building and shipping production software - this role needs an engineer first. Substantial hands on experience with large language models: prompt design, context engineering and structured outputs, in real work rather than personal experiments alone.

KO2 Embedded Recruitment Solutions LTD
Software Architect
KO2 Embedded Recruitment Solutions LTD Royston, Hertfordshire
Software Architect Royston, Hertfordshire 90,000 basic + bonus ( 100,000 OTE) On-site with flexibility Own the software vision for two global product platforms. This is a rare opportunity to take genuine architectural authority across an entire software ecosystem, not a slice of it. Our client is a global manufacturer of advanced precision machinery used in demanding, highly regulated production environments worldwide. Their Royston site is the global design authority for the product line, supported by manufacturing operations in the United States and China, and R&D teams in the UK, Germany and Asia. They currently run two established brands, each with its own software platform, its own hardware platform, and its own development team working largely independently. That is the problem you are being brought in to solve. You will be the person who understands both architectures at code level, forms a view on what should be shared, what should be merged, and what should stay deliberately different, and then sets the technical direction that takes those platforms into their next generation. What you will actually be doing Getting properly under the bonnet of two mature software architectures, mapping how they are built, why they were built that way, and where the structural risks and opportunities sit Defining the technical vision and roadmap for the next generation software platform, aligned to how the business wants to differentiate its two brands commercially Designing layered architectures that allow multiple teams, in multiple countries, to iterate quickly without tripping over each other Producing system architectures and high level product specifications for solutions that must be robust, scalable and secure Line managing a small UK software team of three to four engineers initially, with the German software team of a similar size expected to come under your remit over time Acting as the technical bridge into the Asia based R&D function, particularly around a growing portfolio of AI driven feature development Working across the full lifecycle, from early system definition through design, development, deployment and production support Holding developers to account on implementation quality, challenging approaches and mentoring where it counts Operating within an established Agile framework (SAFe or Scrum) The portfolio you will influence spans customer facing application software, advanced imaging and signal processing algorithms, embedded firmware on custom electronics, and internal production and R&D tooling. The technology The core application software runs on Windows IoT and is predominantly C and C++, with C# also in the estate. Around it sit custom electronics with their own firmware and embedded operating systems, AI and machine learning workstreams, and an emerging interest in connected and cloud enabled services. Cyber security, and the Cyber Resilience Act in particular, is a live and serious topic, because these are connected products going into industrial networks. What they need from you This is not a requirements engineering role and it is not a Scrum Master role with a new title. The team will only follow someone whose technical credibility is beyond question. Essential: A career that started in hands on software development and progressed upwards. You do not need to code daily, but you must be someone who could, and who has been genuinely excellent at it at some point Strong commercial development background in C, C++ and C#, with exposure to Python, .NET, Java or SQL welcome Experience architecting software that controls physical hardware. This is not enterprise software. The code drives a machine that does something in the real world, and it has to interact properly with electronics, sensors and mechanics Demonstrable experience operating as a software architect or technical authority within a complex, multi site organisation The ability to influence, persuade and align global teams without direct line authority Domain depth in at least one of: application software (industrial automation, networking protocols, UI frameworks), IoT and cloud development (Azure, AWS), AI and machine learning systems, cyber security, or embedded systems (RTOS, bare metal, hard real time) Highly desirable: Experience working across European, Asian and North American teams, and an instinct for how working and communication styles differ across those cultures Time spent living or working abroad Background in industrial automation, medical devices, robotics, defence or another regulated hardware led sector Travel and working pattern Expect to travel less than twenty percent of your time, but at least once a quarter, including regular trips to Germany and roughly quarterly visits to Asia. The role is primarily site based in Royston, with a discretionary hybrid policy in place. What is on offer 90,000 basic salary Annual bonus scheme taking realistic total earnings to around 100,000 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays Early finish on Fridays Enhanced work life balance policies, strong wellbeing focus and regular employee engagement events Genuine international exposure across a global engineering network Committed investment in training and technical development Why this one is worth a conversation Architect roles of this scope do not come up often. Most give you one platform, one team and a fixed direction. This gives you two platforms, three engineering locations, a blank sheet for the next generation, and the mandate to decide what it looks like. If you have built the technical foundation and you now want the influence that goes with it, this is the step. Apply with your CV for a confidential discussion, or contact Laurence or Andrew at KO2 Embedded Recruitment Solutions.

What you will actually be doing Getting properly under the bonnet of two mature software architectures, mapping how they are built, why they were built that way, and where the structural risks and opportunities sit Defining the technical vision and roadmap for the next generation software platform, aligned to how the business wants to differentiate its two brands commercially Designing layered architectures that allow multiple teams, in multiple countries, to iterate quickly without tripping over each other Producing system architectures and high level product specifications for solutions that must be robust, scalable and secure Line managing a small UK software team of three to four engineers initially, with the German software team of a similar size expected to come under your remit over time Acting as the technical bridge into the Asia based R&D function, particularly around a growing portfolio of AI driven feature development Working across the full lifecycle, from early system definition through design, development, deployment and production support Holding developers to account on implementation quality, challenging approaches and mentoring where it counts Operating within an established Agile framework (SAFe or Scrum) The portfolio you will influence spans customer facing application software, advanced imaging and signal processing algorithms, embedded firmware on custom electronics, and internal production and R&D tooling. The technology The core application software runs on Windows IoT and is predominantly C and C++, with C# also in the estate. Around it sit custom electronics with their own firmware and embedded operating systems, AI and machine learning workstreams, and an emerging interest in connected and cloud enabled services. Cyber security, and the Cyber Resilience Act in particular, is a live and serious topic, because these are connected products going into industrial networks. What they need from you This is not a requirements engineering role and it is not a Scrum Master role with a new title. The team will only follow someone whose technical credibility is beyond question. Essential: A career that started in hands on software development and progressed upwards. You do not need to code daily, but you must be someone who could, and who has been genuinely excellent at it at some point Strong commercial development background in C, C++ and C#, with exposure to Python, .NET, Java or SQL welcome Experience architecting software that controls physical hardware. This is not enterprise software. The code drives a machine that does something in the real world, and it has to interact properly with electronics, sensors and mechanics Demonstrable experience operating as a software architect or technical authority within a complex, multi site organisation The ability to influence, persuade and align global teams without direct line authority Domain depth in at least one of: application software (industrial automation, networking protocols, UI frameworks), IoT and cloud development (Azure, AWS), AI and machine learning systems, cyber security, or embedded systems (RTOS, bare metal, hard real time) Highly desirable: Experience working across European, Asian and North American teams, and an instinct for how working and communication styles differ across those cultures Time spent living or working abroad Background in industrial automation, medical devices, robotics, defence or another regulated hardware led sector Travel and working pattern Expect to travel less than twenty percent of your time, but at least once a quarter, including regular trips to Germany and roughly quarterly visits to Asia. The role is primarily site based in Royston, with a discretionary hybrid policy in place. What is on offer 90,000 basic salary Annual bonus scheme taking realistic total earnings to around 100,000 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays Early finish on Fridays Enhanced work life balance policies, strong wellbeing focus and regular employee engagement events Genuine international exposure across a global engineering network Committed investment in training and technical development Why this one is worth a conversation Architect roles of this scope do not come up often. Most give you one platform, one team and a fixed direction. This gives you two platforms, three engineering locations, a blank sheet for the next generation, and the mandate to decide what it looks like. If you have built the technical foundation and you now want the influence that goes with it, this is the step.
